There are many opportunities to represent the school at one of these sports, with inter-House matches also being offered. A good number of our boys and girls play representative sport at District, County, Regional and even National level.
These sports are supplemented by our wide ranging PE programme, which through the years offers athletics, basketball, cross-country, dance, gymnastics, keep fit, swimming, tennis and volleyball. We firmly believe that there is a sport for everyone and we aim to expose our pupils to as many sporting experiences as possible, in line with the school’s holistic and inclusive ethos.
Our first-class facilities include a full-sized Astroturf with floodlights, a Sports Hall, a heated swimming pool, seven tennis courts and over 50 acres of well-maintained grass pitches.
